October 27, 2008 - Starting today, over 1,000 schools nationwide - and nearly 500,000 students - will be scouring their homes and neighborhoods for idle pennies.

Who We Are
“You can’t not like animals at PS 88,” said the Penny Harvest coach. It’s engrained in the school culture as evidenced by the names and decisions of their two Philanthropy Roundtables: the “Wild Cats” and “Star Boys.” Both gave all of their support this year to an animal shelter in memory of their longtime school secretary...
